PNTV to capitalize on the growth of the CBD market whose sales are expected to exceed $22 Billion by 2022 according to Forbes Magazine.

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Player’s Network, Inc. , a rapidly growing company in the recreational and medical marijuana industry with licensed grow operations in 2 states and MJ Venture Partners, Inc. (MJVP) , a start-up company established to identify and develop ventures in the marijuana and cannabidiol CBD industries are pleased to announce a strategic partnership to develop and market non-psychoactive Cannabidiol (CBD) based products and their consumer facing ecommerce website GreenLeafPURE.com.

PNTV has been working with MJVP for several months to enable PNTV to effectively enter the CBD market. MJVP is providing traditional and digital marketing services, social media marketing, website development and ecommerce services, product distribution, and industry expertise. MJVP initially launched PNTV’s CBD brand and product line, Green Leaf PURE, as well as developed their ecommerce website, GreenLeafPURE.com. MJVP has also established an online affiliate program to drive sales from internet-based influencers and affiliates.

MJVP strategically positioned the Green Leaf PURE brand to include the highest quality CBD, strongest dosage as well as superior ingredients in their formulations. All CBD brands and/or products created by MJVP will be tested to ensure the safety and highest quality CBD. The initial line of products are now available for purchase on their website, GreenLeafPURE.com.

Currently, the market for CBD is on track to generate more than $600 Million in 2018. Forbes reported that CBD sales will reach over $1 Billion by 2020 and is expected to exceed $22 Billion by 2022.

PNTV is well positioned with its existing licensed cannabis holdings to expand into the less regulated, less restrictive and rapidly growing CBD industry. The Company is further diversifying its holdings and expanding the business to international consumers. PNTV can now sell CBD products and expand its customer base throughout the United States. Many consumers want the health benefits of using CBD regularly without the psychoactive effects of THC and/or the fear of failing a cannabis drug test.

Brett H. Pojunis, CEO of MJVP, said, “We feel CBD has the same type of explosive potential that we have experienced with cannabis and expected sales to exceed $22 Billion by 2022!” Pojunis continued, “Our goal with Green Leaf PURE was to launch with a limited number of high-quality CBD products that consumers are familiar with and commonly used and then add new products, brands and lines as new vertical markets develop.”

Mark Bradley, CEO of PNTV, states, “While PNTV’s subsidiary, Green Leaf Farms, remains focused on expanding its licensed legal Cannabis business, entering the CBD marketplace is a natural extension and very timely to capitalize on the expected growth of the industry while allowing us to further diversify our operations.”
